Plan less. Ride more. PedalArrow combines ADFC events across Bavaria and regional cycling activities with route planning and navigation – together with your group if you like. No account, no tracking. FIND: TOURS, COURSES AND EVENTS • ADFC events across Bavaria plus activities from Landratsamt München, MünchenUnterwegs, MunichWays and Radentscheid München • Filter by region, local group, organiser, date, length, difficulty, pace and surface • Save events, add them to your calendar and open the original source • Meeting points on the official Bavarian web map • Translate German event texts into English GETTING THERE: WEATHER, TRAINS AND ADVICE • Forecast for the meeting point and start time • MVV connections with real-time information where available and an assessment of bike carriage • School holidays, public holidays and travel advice • Ride there by bike: departure planned to match the arrival you want COMPARE: SEVERAL ROUTES, A CLEAR RECOMMENDATION • Compare distinct bicycle profiles when available: Relaxed, Balanced, Direct; a validated single route remains usable during a service outage • A recommendation with reasons: distance, duration, elevation, cycling infrastructure and complex junctions • Up to five stops, or a round trip of your chosen length and direction • Set areas to avoid and plan for dry or wet surfaces UNDERSTAND: READ THE ROUTE • Colour the route by cycling infrastructure, gradient, surface or traffic stress • Munich roadworks and closures along the route, with their kilometre point and source • Look for an alternative without visible closures • Grey means: no reliable data for that section NAVIGATE: CLEAR GUIDANCE • Turn instructions and spoken guidance in English or German, even offline • Offline map for your route corridor or a 25 × 25 km area in Bavaria • Record your ride with a visible status, auto-pause when you stop, GPX export • Assistance & SOS: share your GPS coordinates with emergency services or breakdown help RIDE TOGETHER: PRIVATE GROUP RIDES • Create a ride, share the invitation as a link or QR code and set a meeting point • Ride name, display names, locations and meeting point are end-to-end encrypted • Share your location live only if you want, and pause it at any time • No account, an alias is enough; the ride ends by itself after 2 to 72 hours (extendable) EVERYTHING A RIDE NEEDS • Nearby places: bike repair shops, air pumps, e-bike charging, drinking water, cafés and more – as a destination or stop • Import, check, organise, share and navigate GPX files; the original stays untouched • Seven live streams from Bayerischer Rundfunk, started deliberately • Apple Health: automatically transfer new rides if you wish • Official night map in dark mode, large text, VoiceOver, English and German YOUR DATA. YOUR RIDES. No account, advertising ID, own analytics or tracking. Location is requested only for features that need it. Favourites and saved routes are encrypted in private app storage, excluded from backups and can be deleted in one place. The privacy policy names the online services. Google ML Kit translates event texts on-device and may send technical data to Google. A limited online fallback covers twelve fixed terms: the app sends only a term ID to PedalArrow; the server queries DeepL API. No event texts, names or locations are sent to DeepL. Radio streams you start may contain broadcaster advertising. GOOD TO KNOW PedalArrow is independent and privately developed; it does not represent any authority or the organisers it names. The app is a non-binding planning and orientation aid: traffic rules, signs and conditions on the ground always take priority. Please do not use the app while riding.

Nearby events appear first when a current location is already authorized; without location, events stay in date order. • Improved event maps, search and meeting-point selection, with clear source status. • Correct dates for multi-day events, calendar exports and daylight-saving changes. • Improved English translation. A limited online fallback handles twelve fixed terms without sending event texts, names or locations to DeepL. • Further corrections to event details and route-planning handoffs. ### 3.10 — 2026-10-13 Version 3.10 makes choosing a route clearer: • Route profiles: “Direct” now clearly favours the shortest way. Practically identical lines are merged; in their place the comparison shows a deliberately different course as an “alternative”. • Navigation: turn announcements no longer repeat after braking. • Events: email addresses in angle brackets, headings, lists and separator lines are shown cleanly, mailboxes written with ae, oe or ue are matched to the right contact, and duplicate phone numbers are merged. • Phone, contacts and calendar: “+49 0…” is dialled without the zero, landline numbers are no longer saved to Contacts as mobile numbers, and cancelled events no longer show a registration deadline. • Routes and places: GPX files with spaces or decimal commas in their coordinates are read completely, and places show their full address. • Translation: amounts such as “1.000 Meter” are translated as plural. ### 3.00 — 2026-10-12 Version 3.00 makes PedalArrow more reliable on the road: • Roadworks: the list along your route now names every notice – eight first, then in steps of 50. • Public transport: timetable and live data are clearly separated, connections on the previous or next day show their date, and MVV notices show umlauts instead of codes. • Navigation: climb announcements that start mid-section give the remaining distance. • Group rides: anyone not sharing a current position is shown that way. • Places and events: multi-line opening hours are shown, result counts are right, and the weather names the meeting point. • Routes: GPX exports keep their names, lengths are rounded correctly, and offline maps show their size in the app language. • VoiceOver: map buttons, source notes and selection menus are read with their names and current choice. ### 2.91 — 2026-10-10 All cycling events around Munich in one app: alongside ADFC tours, you now also find courses, rides and events from MunichWays, Radentscheid München, MünchenUnterwegs and the Landratsamt München – with an organiser filter, saved events, trip planning to the meeting point and calendar export. Private group rides are end-to-end encrypted throughout. No account, no advertising ID, no tracking. Events now load faster and details open reliably. ## Apps similar to PedalArrow | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Draeger Navi](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/draeger-navi/id1611780506) | — | Free | Navigation | | [BiciZen](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bicizen/id1671632609) | — | Free | Navigation | | [MunichWays](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/munichways/id1534934984) | — | Free | Navigation | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
